powerpc: Don't change the section in _GLOBAL()

Browse source

Currently the _GLOBAL() macro unilaterally sets the assembler section to
".text" at the start of the macro. This is rude as the caller may be
using a different section.

So let the caller decide which section to emit the code into. On big
endian we do need to switch to the ".opd" section to emit the OPD, but
do that with pushsection/popsection, thereby leaving the original
section intact.

I verified that the order of all entries in System.map is unchanged
after this patch. The actual addresses shift around slightly so you
can't just diff the System.map.
